TASTE AND TALES

TASTE AND TALES 

A unique dining experience brought to you by French Quarter Phantoms and Palm & Pine Restaurant. 

The best tour guides in New Orleans team up with top-quality chefs to create a unique tour-and-dine experience you won't find anywhere else. Winner of the New Orleans concierge association "Best New Experience," Taste and Tales is a new take on the traditional food tour that allows you to indulge in NOLA’s world-famous food scene while learning all about its historical landmarks and culture. Eat, drink, and be entertained without all of the sweating and walking needed to enjoy multiple dishes as we serve you and guests a 3-5 course meal of Louisiana goodness, sure to get taste buds smiling. 

Meanwhile, your entertainment for the evening will entail a fully licensed New Orleans tour guide regaling you with 300 years of our region’s gastronomic history and culture. You’ll learn about the origins of New Orleans cuisine, the contributions of the many different peoples and cultures that define South Louisiana, and even hear some of the mysterious legends surrounding our area’s most famous dishes. 

Your host restaurant is Palm & Pine, helmed by local flavor heroes Amarys Koenig Herndon and Jordan Herndon, offering a unique perspective on what defines New Orleans cuisine. The pair focuses on highlighting local growers and farmers while still incorporating international influences with a “South and South of THAT!” approach to their menu. For our special Taste & Tales experience, the chef couple will serve up some New Orleans classics and hit them with their own twists for a brand new flavor adventure. Even our lead guides, veterans of the NOLA food scene, rave about not wanting to spend time eating anywhere else! 

Finally, no gastro experience in New Orleans would be complete without a good drink. A choice of one beverage is included in the price of your meal with additional drinks available for an extra fee. You may choose from a classic New Orleans Sazerac, a hand-mixed Hurricane, one of Louisiana’s famous local beers, or the incredible Palm & Pine Pimm's Cup. 

We know this is a dining delight you and your guests will love, and in true French Quarter Phantoms spirit invite you to enjoy every bite and remember that:

"He who sleeps doesn’t think about eating." — Old Creole proverb.
